Potential Problem?
#1
Hi - I have a 96 Berlingo. A potential problem has arisen with the van and i just wondered if it is any cause for concern. On ignition it 'chugs/coughs' for a second or two and then starts, immiting a cloud of white smoke. What are the possible causes and should i be concerned of any underlying fault that may worsen? Thanks

If its a diesel then the preheat could be worth looking at
It is on my to do list.
But not right at the top

Is it smoke or steam? Just wondering if there could be a start of a leaking head gasket alowing water into the cylinders whilst at rest overnight.

Yes I think we have also reached that conclusion! Confusedillyme: Question is: Is it Petrol or Diesel?
